A man was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after he was shot in front of a bar near Yonge and Clark in Markham.

A man was rushed to hospital after being shot in Markham Thursday night around 11 p.m.

Police said the victim was shot in the area of Yonge St. and Clark Ave., in front of a popular local bar — the Britannia pub and grill. Police do not believe the victim was a patron at the bar, just passing by.

The victim, a man in his 20s, was sent to the hospital with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.

A server at Britannia said she had not heard anything inside the pub as it was karaoke night.

The suspect is described as a black male with a thin build, wearing a white hoodie and a jacket with a large, circular, red logo on the back fled the scene on foot.

Police apprehended two female suspects, and are still searching for the first suspect, who is believed to still be at large.
